GAUGE:

8 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS).
EXACT GAUGE IS NOT ESSENTIAL TO THIS PROJECT.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:


1.Scarf is worked with a Garter st (k every row) border, but edges may roll gently.
2.Markers are placed to define the border sts at the beginning and end of each row.

SCARF
Cast on 16 sts.
Knit 6 rows for Garter st border.
Next Row: K2 for Garter st border, place marker, k to last 2 sts for St st (k on RS, p on WS) center section, place marker, k2 for Garter st border.
Next Row: K2, sl marker, p to marker, sl marker, k2.
Continue as established, keeping first and last 2 sts in Garter st for borders, center 15 sts in St st and slipping markers on every row until piece measures about 58 1/2 in. (149 cm) from beginning.
Knit 6 rows for Garter st border.
Bind off.

Easy and fast! Reviewed by kimberly h on 2011-07-04 *****
This is a very easy project for the beginning knitter. It was fast and didn't take very long to complete plus the pattern wasn't complicated. I'd recommend experimenting with different yarns. This would make a great gift for a man or woman.
